Optimize your Website for Google

There are things that you can do to help your website get a better ranking with search engines like Google before you even begin to advertise. The following five steps are probably the most important to consider. Google is not very particular about fancy grapics and colors you use, or about the exact words used to describe your messages to your audience. However the bots do want you to show relevancy in topics through your website.

Step 1:
You should almost definitaly design your website in CSS. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, which are basically just written instructions for how the site is presented to your visitors. Not only do Google, and other search bot style engines adore CSS, but once you are used to using it you will as well, since it allows you to update the text appearance of your entire site with very little effort.

Step 2:
Keep your site design pretty simple. You really will not impress most visitors with super fancy designs and flashy videos. On Google's side these are computerized visitors, not human traffic. Many people feel that audio or video that play' s when you open a page is annoying. Get their attention first, then show off the fun stuff.

Step 3:
Meta Tags should definitely be used, but don't rely on them to raise your page rank. Meta tags aren't used all that much anymore. Google mainly uses Meta Tags, such as your Title, Description, and Keyword tags to correctly index your site and put it in the right category.

Step 4:
Don't use giant files that take forever to load. Using big files on your site will slow it down and cause both the robots and your precious traffic to leave before ever seeing your product or message. There are many ways to optimize your images and compress all of your files, so make sure you give the visitor a quick and easily download able page.

Step 5:
Check your links often. The Google bots are advanced technology, but they won't know what to do if they find a broken link or can't find their way off of your home page. Their only option is to leave, and you want your entire site indexed not just your landing page. Use text links and avoid JavaScript when creating your navigation and make sure you provide the search spiders with a Site Map.

Tips & Warnings
Content is important add fresh content OFTEN.

Check your links often

Use smaller files & photo sizes

Use CSS

Keep your site clean and easy to navigate

Avoid putting valuable keywords in your meta tags

Avoid adding keywords to your content just to add them

Make Money with Online Surveys for Free

All resources were gathered over many MANY hours of research. Information found here is from many sources. Every single company is 100% FREE to join AND is legitimate. I will not waste your time with a bunch of “get rich quick” nonsense, these are real paying sites. Plan to receive some extra cash and free stuff if you can take surveys casually. If you are serious and do all these surveys every day you could even make an income. It is all up to the individual person how much can be made, that is the true secret to wealth. The following is a list compiled of the best legitimate survey sites with information on how much they offer for payment. Some pay cash, others by prizes, and some by drawings.

Tip- Most of these are great for US and Canada. Check with each site before signing up to see if your country is eligible to participate!

Step 1:
Get a dedicated email for surveys. It is easier to keep track of them, and it will not cause your regular inbox to fill up to fast.

Step 2:
Do surveys daily. This is the best way to get an income from them.

Step 3:
Some companies will often want you to take a short "screener" survey when you first register with them. Unfortunately these are not usually paid surveys. You'll usually be entered into a drawing, but the purpose of the screener survey is much more important than that ... The real purpose behind screener surveys is that it's how some of the better market research companies get to know you. It's how they determine which surveys you're eligible for, and it's the "secret" to getting invited to take the really good surveys in the future! The funny thing is that because screener surveys don't pay cash, many people don't do them - so the odds of winning the prize being offered are a lot higher than you might think.

Step 4:
Fill out your interests and profile information for any survey sites that offer them. Filling out the profiles and/or interests increases your odds of being selected for a paid online survey.

Step 5:
Log-in on a daily basis to those sites that offer non-invitation surveys and/or other activities to accumulate more points/cash.

Step 6:
Tell your friends. Certain sites offer extra incentives for referring people to their site.

Step 7:
Take advantage of free software that can store personal information to automate filling out forms. This will speed up the process of filling out common information like name, address, etc. Most recommend RoboForm or the auto fill feature in the Google Toolbar.

Step 8:
Take all of the survey offers that are offered at first, even if they are only rewarded with sweepstakes entries. This will allow you to build up a strong track record with the individual survey sites. Soon you will start receiving more survey offers than you can handle. Once you are satisfied with the volume of survey invitations you are receiving, you can then focus on the more lucrative surveys that interest you.

Step 9:
Many of the sites have a login for members that allows you to change your profile information, review the surveys you have taken, etc. Be sure to bookmark these locations and organize them in you browser so that you have easy access to them.

Getting Google to Visit your Website

There are a few things that you can do to enhance Google’s interest your site so that they decide to index it faster and present you to the public whenever a search is conducted. You might be suprised to learn that not everyone is indexed after they submit their URL to the search engines and directories. All you have to do is follow these steps and you will be 99.99999% certain that your website will NOT be missed.

Step 1:
First of all, you have to submit your URL to Google itself. Remember the Google bots crawl the web on a constant basis, but don’t expect them to find your website without effort. You have to add lots of good articles and information if you have any hope of making it into the index.

Step 2:
Your second tip, start blogging. Blogging is VERY popular right now. Google owns blogger.com, so starting your blog out there is a very good idea. Then after each post simply link back to your website. This ensures the bots will pick up on you much faster.

Step 3:
Your third tip, Do NOT make the mistake of setting up a hundred sites all at once and then linking them to one another. Google knows all about this trick, and they will put every one of your 12 sites in the sandbox, this is BAD, until they return three months later to check and see if you were serious about launching all those relevant sites or if you were creating what they call 'mirror' sites just to make one of your websites seem important.

Step 4:
You can also write free well written articles that others will use on their own websites. When Google updates their sites, the bots will automatically follow the link from the article to your website. Plus, you will get a nod for having an incoming link.

Tips & Warnings
Update Content Often

Building your Downlines

There are different ways to earn money using the internet. One of the most popular ways of doing it is through an affiliate program or multi-level marketing program. The program's work by recruiting other people to work under you. Whatever they earn from the system, you will recieve a certain percentage of it. They can earn the same way if they recruit others to join the network in the same way that you did. Some MLM companies are paying up to third and fourth or even further tiers of downlines. ((See http://mnaff.url-Go.com for an example.)) Affiliate based opportunitys seem are definatly a lucrative business. But a lot of people are hesitant to join because they are afraid they will never build their downlines. However, it is actually very very easy to recruit downlines, if you know how to do it. Building a downline can provide you with residual income. That means that long after all your hard work, you can retire knowing that your downline will always be around working for you.

Step 1:
First I reccomend using Social Networking sites. Social networking sites were hit this decade. For some reason, it has lured half of all the internet users in the world to create their profile, build their own web page, and invite other friends to join the network. See, that's exactly how MLM works. And so if social networking sites were so popular, you might as well use it to find members to become your downline. If you have been using the internet for so long, chances are, you are already a part of a social networking site like MySpace. If you are, then all you have to do is to send an invitation email to your friends. Just count how many would respond positively upon your invitation. Some even PAY you to use them! Places like ZenZuu are paying their members for just doing the normal things like blogging and uploading photos. (See - http://www.zenzuu.com/journeyforself/signup.htm )for more information. If you sign up with that link (Its free) I can personally help you build your downlines. :) Ok, on to the next step.

Step 2:
Participate in Forums. Do you know that the very people you can recruit are chatting idly at forums? Select a forum that is very related to the product, the system, or the service that your MLM parent company is offering. If you actively participate in forums related to your business and build a good reputation, it will be easy for you recruit others to join you. Never spam a forum however, they will be all over you like piranas on dinner. Keep it under the radar. Cloak your affiliate ID's with shortened URL's or better yet, buy a domain to point to your URL. It is an affordable way to gain credibility.

Step 3:
Use member generator sites, tools, and software. Right now, a lot of internet and programming experts have seen the need of MLM marketers to build a strong downline for their business to flourish. For this purpose, several websites, tools, and programs were created to do exactly that. There are sites that offer referral exchanges and sites that allow the referral links and banners to be published. As for tools, there are downline software that can be used to manage, contact, and follow up prospects or members of your MLM business. For software of this nature check out: http://journeyforself.com/traffic.aspx

Step 4:
Submit to Search Engines. More often than not, online MLM businesses provide their members with their own splash page to gain more recruits. Use that link and advertise it on key places like Google, Overture, Yahoo, and others. You might need to create an entirely different landing page or generate a redirect URL for it, as some of these sites don't accept referral links. Also, there are some people who refrain from going to sites that are obviously a referral link because they do not want to be sold to. Again it is a small price to pay for a URL that points to your affiliate website, usually $6 to $20 a year.
